It Doesn't Add Up
In 1921, Emir Abdullah, one of the last Sharifs of Mecca's sons, received from the British the oriental part of "Palestine". This part is not called Palestine anymore, it was renamed "the Kingdom of Jordan." This was a simple way to erase the trace which historically lead to the name of Palestine.
Before this date no one could find in history the name of "the Kingdom of Jordan". I guess this was a smart move, and without any resolution or war, a large part of Palestine was amputated. It became a fait accompli, the British didn't find it necessary to consult with the Jewish communities which lived at that time in Palestine under the British mandate. Until now, no one questioned or challenged this fact. Israel has already given up this part, by signing the peace treaty with the Kingdom of Jordan. The Christians knew well that the Jews were the heirs of the entire Palestine of which the Kingdom of Jordan is a major part.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton arrogantly ordered the Jewish State to stop the settlements. Her tone was different from the one she gave to AIPAC just before the election. One should understand that Netanyahu's government conspicuously refusing the two-state solution, has a good reason. When Sharon gave up the Gaza land he had in mind that this would be a test and the beginning of a Palestinian state. Instead Hamas took the entire control by force and transformed it into a terrorist base and a launch base for rockets.
I wonder why now ? Does Mrs. Clinton want to scare the North Koreans or Iran? Or Syria, or Venezuela? Without taking into consideration the history of Jordan.
Yes Netanyahu's government is right by saying, how many times do the Jews have to divide Palestine? If Israel would again recognize a two states solution, one Jewish and one Arab, living side by side, this doesn't add up! They already have not one state but five states: 1.Egypt, 2.Syria, 3.Lebanon, 4. the Kingdom of Jordan, 5 Gaza. This makes five Arab states. Who can guarantee that the West Bank will not be transformed into another terrorist base like Gaza, like Hezbollah?
JFK did not accept Soviet rockets in Cuba which were 228 miles from Miami. Is it not understandable that the Israelis cannot accept a new terrorist base just a few miles from their borders? The last example was with Hamas in Gaza, which sent rockets to the south villages and cities in Israel. I believe that Obama himself or his people witnessed it. To better understand what I am talking about, please see the map.
Before threatening our friend Israel to stop the settlement construction in order to please the Arab or the Muslim world, present the Israelis with the guarantee necessary so they may in the future live without the fear of rockets or terrorist attacks.
It is hard to believe that Obama's strategy is looking for confrontation with Israel in order to please the Cairo audience, as certain reporters write. It would be counterproductive distortion of history and an insult to the Jewish people.
Thank you for your words.
